Wouldn't "reparative" here have been hiring a more diverse cohort, and paying them more?

  That would be a way to address the underlying complaint. But it wouldn't be "reparative". The perversion here is the assumption that the next minority you hire is a complete stand-in for the implicitly-assumed minority who missed out before, leading to the existing imbalance.

  There is no person more diverse than another one. You cannot discriminate that by skin color without being racist.

    There is a workforce more diverse than another one.

      Correct, I guess. Online racial supremacists are diverse and multinational. It is not a quality in itself. Optimizing this metric is futile and doesn't solve prejudice. On the contrary I believe.
